Freeing up trade and removing red tape that is restrictive is one of the cornerstones of Brexit. Labour has always stopped and prevented the benefits of Brexit. Labour think growth comes from taxation whereas it comes from entrepreneurial activity which is squashed by Labours taxation. This chap is gutless and knows what we all know. Well done Mike for flushing out socialist crap from a person representing a capitalist business producing organisation. I wouldn’t want this chap representing my business!!

    It won't be long before this guy is looking back fondly on the 'trade stagnation' of the last 10 years.
    The usual reaction of business to the type of additional costs Reeves has placed on them is to downsize and/or cost-cut. The immediate plan for the size of business that lacks ready access to Trade Capital would be to rationalise costs rather than try to expand their trading and taking on further debt.
